I didn’t know why, but since two days ago I haven’t been able to log in or use YM to chat. The last person I chatted with was Ryan, and I didn’t even manage to say goodbye to him before it all went wrong. All contacts were gone, and I could not add anyone. I tried to create another ID, but it didn’t make a difference.
Well, maybe it is good to confirm my decision to not let myself be addicted to chat with someone after my working hours, and instead do something more useful. Or, it can be a sign to start using Skype now.
Anyway, my own comp is having a surgery now, so let’s wait and see what I should do after she’s back.

BANDUNG VS THANKSGIVING
Apa hubungannya coba? Emang gak ada. Gua gak pernah ngerayain Thanksgiving di Bandung, tapi gara-gara makan malam thanksgiving hari ini dibatalin karena istri dan anak-anak bos gua ngedadak sakit, dan juga dokter gigi gua nelepon gak bisa nganiaya gua hari ini karena ngedadak diajak mertua kondangan, alhasil gua cuma bisa molor di kosan dan bangun ngedadak lapar. Inget kalkun, inget pai labu, inget sederet makanan enak yang setaun lalu bisa gua lahap sepuasnya karena gratis, mukulin piñata dengan semangat empat lima, duh serunya! Tapi tiba-tiba ada suara tok-tok-tok kedengeran merdu di kuping gua. Eh, si emang siomay Bandung lewat. Jadi deh gua makan siomay sampe eneg. Jadinya gini neh, sekarang gua kangen berat ama Bandung.
Kacida sonona nepika hayang nyoroscos we ngomong Sunda yeuh. Tapi kulantaran euweuh nu bisa nembalan, ayeunna kuring rek nulis make bahasa Sunda we lah, kajeun ngan ukur saparagraf oge, kajeun mun eweuh nu ngarti ge, nu penting mah urang ayeunna ngarasa puas jeung bagja. Emaaakkkk…hayang geura geura balik ka Tasik! (tapi nyimpang heula ka Bandung lah, kapalang).
Iya neh, gua kangen berat sama Bandung, titik! Gua pengen maen sama si Oliep, ngobrol sama si Dekol, ketemu temen-temen lama yang laen lagi, gak peduli betapa sekarang katanya Bandung udah sepanas dan semacet Jakarta, pokoknya gua mau tetep ke sana lagi!
Gua pengen mampir ke QB dan baca-baca buku tanpa harus beli (hehehehe), dan kalo beli pasti dapet diskon karena ada banyak mantan kolega gua di sana yang pada baek ati.
Sekarang yang ada di kepala gua cuma ngelewatin Natal di Bandung taun ini. Gua pengen ngerayain sama anak-anak BSG yang kayaknya udah seabad gak pernah gua liat lagi. Kalo bisa sih caroling lagi kayak tiga tahun yang lalu, tapi gua akan cukup puas cuma dengan nyanyi 12 Days of Christmas (tapi wajib pake gerakan!). Itu lagu Natal fave gua! Meskipun kedengarannya konyol, tapi sebenernya punya arti yang dalem. Setelah kebaktian dan minum apple cider bareng-bareng di BIC, gua pengen ngerumpi sampe tengah malem di cafe ama temen-temen gua, ngobrol ngalor ngidul ngelepas kangen, diingetin kalo kita semua masih punya mimpi yang perlu terus diperjuangin, dan juga masalah yang pasti bisa diatasi. Kadang kita lupa akan hal-hal kayak gitu karena tenggelam sama rutinitas sehari-hari, jadi perlu juga diingetin.
Ya udah deh... untung masih ada pesta thanksgiving yang diundur hari Minggu besok di Depok, jadi kekangenan gua ini bisa terobatin dikit dengan bayangan daging kalkun dan mashed potatoes yang nikmat...slurrp...slurrp...gak ada hubungannya sih, gua cuma lagi food coma ajah jadinya ngelantur kayak gini.
Happy Thanksgiving aja deh untuk mereka yang ngerayain! (meskipun kebanyakan mereka itu kayaknya gak akan ngerti apa yang gua omongin di sini, hehehe...salah sendiri kenapa males belajar bahasa Indonesia)

AAW, HIGH HEELS!
Another woman stuff I can’t understand besides mascara (that takes my precious time to put it on my eye lashes only to look like a ghost when I wash my face afterwards) is high heel shoes. I just can’t understand why most women choose to suffer wearing them around.
I had a pair once, with extremely high and sharp heels that I think I can kill someone with it. They’re lovely, but I only wore them twice before threw them away. The first time was on my sister’s wedding – soon after it’s over I got off the car with them on my arms, and started trotting to the house with bare feet. Second time, I dared to do that to church which was just around the corner of my boarding house and I was tempted to walk home without them, cos it was such a torture to wear them.
Anyway, someone just gave me another pair, and my normal heel shoes are about to fall apart so I didn’t want to risk it when going to church last Sunday. So I wore these high heel shoes but just standing with bare feet during the service. And as Mariana and I were waiting for the bus in Jakarta heat (after walking a little around the mall), I whined about my dislike toward that kind of shoes. I really missed my comfortable sneakers and flipflops. Too bad they just don’t match with skirts, eh?
But anyway, I’ve just bought a lovely pair of shoes. And they are pretty, and have no heel at all. I think I will never wear any high heels anymore. I’d rather be not so pretty without them, but free to move around comfortably, than walk like a robot and wince all the time from the pain on my feet muscle!

SHOPPING AND ME
are actually not good friends. It's one of least fave things to do. So, you'll enjoy shopping with me, guys, cos it is usually super fast, and not very often.
